“The middle class, in all their naiveté, often believe that they can solve the problems of the lower class with the same tools they use to maintain their own status. But they are worlds apart, and what they fail to realize is that poverty isn’t a problem to be solved, but a condition to be survived.”

The term “New World Order” refers to a hypothetical future global system of governance often discussed in politics and conspiracy theories. It suggests a world where nations cooperate on a global scale, potentially with a single authority or power structure overseeing international affairs, economics, and security. This concept has varying interpretations, from a harmonious global society to a more centralized and controlled world government. It’s a complex and speculative idea, often debated without a clear consensus on its actual form or likelihood.

“I believe that who we are, and consequently the work that we make, whether we’re visual artists or writers or journalists or filmmakers, is a projection of where we were born, what’s been withheld or lavished upon us, our color, our sex, our class. And everything we do in life to some degree is a reflection of that context.” — Barbara Kruger
